Now the above code display arabic as it should be doing, when i try the same approach using Yii application, it shows some weird characters. I have added the character set information in /layout/main.php but no use.

Well the whole view is quite big file, i can't paste all the code here but let me give you a brief work flow.

1. Made a controller that fetches information using MyModel::model()->find();
2. In this->render() method i am sending the information using the variable called $data.
3. I am using echo to print the information which i get from the controller like
echo $data->title . " : : " . $data->description;

Now the default website is in english, but i want to show the following text in arabic, as it is by default in arabic. So tell me what can i do approach this.
